Blogging… delayed

2006/03/24 by Rolando Garza

Hmm, missed a few days to make some entries, but I’ve been rather busy and a bit too tired. I guess most readers are really here for the pictures… here is a picture I took while I was burning some stuff at the lab. :-)

rolandog burning dried wastewater sludge

We’re doing a project for finding out the economic feasability of using wastewater sludge as an energy source… and other stuff…

So, yeah,… I’m working with doodie. This town’s doodie, to be precise. :-D

    Wastewater as an eregy source????
    If anybody can do that will become as famous as Einstein or something.
    The only use of wastewater I’ve heard of is gardening the plants in public squares or stuff like that.
    It’d be really good for ecology or whatever it’s called.
    congratulations and go on!!!

    I work at Deer Island Treatment Plant in Boston, Mass. On average we pump 250 mgd of “product” and produce tons sludge. We use some in our methane (or meethane, if you’re British ;o) )to co-generate some electricity in our gas turbine. Raw sludge, though? – not quite. Have you published any results?

    I’m just a computer jock, not an engineer, or chemist, so they may be hot on the trail of this one. ,,, Joe s.

    Hi Joe. The ‘Dulces Nombres’ Treatment Plant in Monterrey, Nuevo León (one of the plants in town) gets around 115 MGDs of waste water. And they do use meethane ( :-D ) for electricity co-generation… (though they also get some propane… so, we might conclude mexican food produces explosive gases).

    We still have not published any results… If we do, though… I’ll let you know. I think I’m not allowed to discuss much of the project at all, since we were supposed to be hired under some sort of ‘oath of secrecy’. Weird thing is, they never gave us some any non-disclosure agreements to sign at all.

    We aren’t however the first to think of wastewater sludge reuse. Japan and Germany already have interesting projects. Ours is similar to the one described at the article at the bottom of this newsletter.

    So we are manufacturing our own fuel…Cool :)

  9. [...] Bueno, volviendo a lo del proyecto… a nosotros nos tocó evaluar la factibilidad del utilizar lodos residuales en diversas aplicaciones. Fue un proyecto que consumió mucho de nuestro tiempo. [...]
